It's funny how, when playing space-based games, whether actual games or text-based RPGs (which, when done with skilled authors, can be quite fun, but can be a pain in the neck with people who actually view it as a game to be won or lost), they never, ever expect an attack like this.

the exhaust trails for the missiles made the field so much brighter, i thought the other fleet was the one launching *asteroids* at the foreground fleet.then i saw the missiles themselves...that would have been an interesting counterattack though
